What if we can’t understand each other?

What if all words hold memory from our history and we put our own meaning to them?

What if SCHOOL holds happy safe memories for me? What if you were bullied at school? What if you had a sad loss at the HOSPITAL but I happily worked at one with loving nurses?

What if the best we can do is to try and understand each other?

 

What if told you to “stand up straight”?

What if I find myself getting frustrated with my husband who is suffering with a bad leg and sometimes favors that leg?

What if I am the one who is fearful of him getting older and passing and don’t want a  visual reminder of that?

What if this frustration and fear is about me and not him?

What if I surrounded him with love?

What if he lies about everything?

By Lynne Cory

What if he lies when he does not need to lie but it is an ingrained habit from early childhood when he did not want to get in trouble and told them whatever he thought they wanted to hear?

What if we always catch him today because lies are hard to remember?

What if we bless him and ask that he will someday see his self worth and be able to speak his truth?

What if I really want that new black VW jetta?

By Lynne Cory

What if a friend and I both want the same thing from different places and are having a hard time creating our desires?

What if I begin to encourage her and tell her I see her getting it and make her smile?

What if because I am encouraging her, my vibration lifts and we both get what we want?

What if he got arrested?

By Lynne Cory

What if I am watching someone on drugs who is swiftly going downhill and becoming homeless and will soon be moving in with a group of drug addicts?

What if the Universe knows what it is doing because with a group of busy, active drug addicts, the police will be called more quickly and my friend will be jailed sooner and perhaps have some down time to look at his life and even make some positive changes?

 

What if I have a LONG memory?

By Lynne Cory

What if my core teachers (parents, grandparents, guardians) are still affecting me today with a cellular memory of their beliefs that I still carry?

What if I have gotten over many of these issues but every once in a while someone activates an old issue and I respond negatively?

What if I took the time to sit and investigate whose issue this really is?

What if the Titanic had to sink?

By Lynne Cory

What if the Universe only hears the positive and delivers that experience to us? What if I ask for an iced tea with NO sugar and when it arrives it has sugar? What if I ask for iced tea next time? What if for months the White Star Line advertised that the Titanic was UN-sinkable but the Universe cannot hear a negative? What if instead they had said that it was buoyant beyond belief?

What if she was class valedictorian?

By Lynne Cory

What if I met someone, very bitter and sad, who covered it up with a know-it-all personality and continually bragged about her great knowledge on all topics?

What if she hated herself so badly that it seeped through her pores and onto those around her and we all backed away?

What if we extended love and compassion to her, if even from a distance, at first?

What if I just said “WOW”?

By Lynne Cory

What if I could tell if I was “judging” you because your actions stirred up a negative emotion inside of me, perhaps frustration or anger or jealousy or rejection?

What if I could tell if I was merely “observing” you because watching you was no more emotional than reading a quiet book wondering how it might play out?
